ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an apparatus for carrying in-line skates and accessories. The in-line skates have blades that have at least two adjacent wheels and at least one substantially enclosed opening. The apparatus comprising a continuous plastic molded body consisting of a support structure with an extending member forming a handle. The support structure has a pair of outwardly extending flexible tabs sized to secure a hockey puck or ball between them. On the opposite side of the handle are two outwardly extending flexible extensions that are opposed to each other forming a channel that is sized to tightly fit the shaft of a hockey stick allowing the user to secure a hockey stick to the apparatus. In addition, the support structure includes a first and second vertical member appropriately spaced apart that extend downward from the main body of the support structure and are opposed to each other. A rod is permanently attached to the first vertical member and extends toward the second vertical member on a slightly downward angle ending slightly beyond the second vertical member. The second vertical member's end that is closest to the rod has a cutout shape to allow the diameter of the rod to be snap fit into a cutout in the end of this second vertical member. While in the unsnapped position, the end of the rod can be slid through a substantially enclosed opening on an in-line skate such as the opening between the blade and the boot. The procedure can be repeated with a second in-line skate and then the rod's free end can be snap fit into the second vertical members notched end to securely retain the skates on the rod.
